Our Managed Bookkeeping Services include transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, accounts payable and receivable management, financial forecasting, and monthly financial reviews. These services are designed to help businesses maintain accurate and well-organized financial records.
Transaction Categorization is the process of accurately assigning each financial transaction to a specific category (e.g., income, expenses, assets) based on your business's chart of accounts. This practice provides you with a clear, organized view of your income and expenses, which is essential for maintaining accurate financial records and making informed business decisions.
When your transactions are accurately categorized:
For example, QuickBooks Online uses your categorized transactions to summarize income and expenses in your financial statements. This ensures that your tax filings are accurate and complete, providing peace of mind at tax time.
For new business owners, Transaction Categorization is not just a bookkeeping task—it’s a crucial foundation for understanding your finances, maximizing tax benefits, and fostering long-term business success. By keeping your financial data organized and accurate, you’ll be better equipped to handle tax preparation and make strategic decisions to grow your business
